Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their away fixture against Bristol City. They came away from that fixture with 36% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Bristol City managed 9 attempts on goal, with 0 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Plymouth Argyle, Recent FormThe Plymouth Argyle squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 home defeat against Southampton, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 39% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Southampton who had 19 attempts and 9 on target.
Manager Steven Schumacher will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 6 games in a row.
Morgan Whittaker will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Plymouth Argyle.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Birmingham will be confident of finding the net in this one against The Pilgrims, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides. In their past 5 meetings, The Blues' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Plymouth will have to take their chances when they come.
Birmingham have certainly shown themselves to be resilient opponents against Plymouth in the league, having gone unbeaten against them in their last 6 meetings.
Birmingham manager John Eustace has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. George Hall (Ankle), Marcel Oakley (Hamstring), Marc Roberts (Calf) and Tyler Roberts (Calf) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Plymouth manager Steven Schumacher ahead of this clash, with Brendan Galloway (Unknown) missing out, which gives Schumacher a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
